Churches with limited resources can concentrate on a specialized area of ministry and make a difference in the lives of evacuees, relief workers and volunteers following disasters. Through strategic partnerships, churches can access the resources and expertise they need, often locally, and develop their own core competency in disaster response ministry.
Other community involvement opportunities include the following:
- Children’s Services
- Cleanup Services
- Clothing Services
- Food Pantry Services
- Food Services
- Language Translator Services
- Logistics Management and Services
- Medical Services
- Personal Hygiene Services
- Transportation Management and Services
Recommendation: Visit with your local authorities, Office of Emergency Management, faith-based and non-governmental organizations active in disaster preparedness and response, and assess opportunities in your community where you can serve; including, meeting unmet needs.
